secretary kerry a week ago friday made a strong case that syria was culpable. i don't think anyone seriously doubts that syria used chemical weapons. the only question is what do you do about it. and i agree with general clark are the united states is the leader, we have to show toughness here. but of itness can toughness can with wisdom. so if they will give them up the chemical weapons peacefully, that is a better solution. >> i thought john scar kerry's h was splendid and i happen to believe what he said. but you can talk to house members and senator, they haven't even been shown the evidence. because as i understand it, it's not just a bunch of bodies lying on the ground. they actually have electronic intercepts and communication intercepts where we can plot this whole they think out. to me, if that's shared with the american public, maybe that's what the president wants to do tuesday night. he has to let the american public see this, so that we know that it is absolutely assad and not al qaeda or some jihadist group. that's all i'm saying. it was similar i

kerry wants to complete the u.n. resolution regarding syria, identifying their chemical weapons and then destroying them. what is holding up that so far? >> the russians. quite simply, my understanding is that kerry would like to have some sort of automatic trigger there for the use of force if the assad regime doesn't comply with providing paper work, timelines, things along this line but the russians are against that. the russians want the use of force off the table as they have for some time. now they will take to it the u.n. and that battle will continue. >> michael rubin, as i under it to pick up on peter's point, these u.n. resolutions if you violate them the charter says something called chapter 7 you can use or take military action to enforce them and the russians do not want any military action whatsoever from the u.n. or from the u.s. on syria because they are still protecting assad. is that right? is that fair? >> that's absolutely fair. the russians see international relations as a zero sum game. if there
